Our mission

Sint Maarten has experienced economic challenges in recent years due to, among other things, the damage caused by violent hurricanes. APS is therefore confronted with the increasing demands for sustainable investments. That gives direction to our actions.

This requires changes in the pension system and an adaption of future visions for an optimal financial and social return on investment; like more employers, participants and pensioners involvement. Our goal is not only to meet regulatory requirements, but to also aim to make a visible contribution to our participants and the community. We will undergo a transition period during which we must transform into a sustainable pension fund and organization. We need everyone to do this: the participants, the (social) partners, the government and the regulators.

Strategic Agenda 2019 – 2022

In the Strategic Agenda we outline our ambitions and objectives. The 5 fundamental principles of these objectives are:

We direct the pension fund ethically and competently.

We invest sustainably in Sint Maarten and abroad.

We communicate clearly and report proactively.

We provide personalized service online and offline.

We prepare for the future.

Our vision

Our ambitions are summarized in a vision statement in order to create an unshakable foundation for all our stakeholders and participants:

At APS we perform our duties with dilgence and respect towards people, society and environment. We invest in and on behalf of the pensioners and participants, but we must go a step furtherr.
